Firstly, you will need to prep your hair with a mousse or jam that prevents frizz and won’t revert your curls. Once the hair is prepped, use a comb to do a zig-zag and a heart parting.

Feed in the braids with blonde and black hair extensions, lightening up the braids. Use a toothbrush and hair gel to arrange your baby hair.

2. Red Heart Braid

Choose a point in the middle of your forehead and start knitting your cornrows. Decorate each braid with multiple golden hair rings.

3. Side Heart

If you want a color mix between red and reddish pink, then you will need to dye the crown hair, and keep the sides in their natural color.

5. Snake Braids

You can feed in the braids with black and blonde extensions to add a pop of color.

6. Crisscross Cornrows

In the back of your head, create a small heart out of two cornrows, then integrate them into braids. Keep your plaits long and use a thick knit to create and secure the low ponytail.

7. Large Side Heart
